ONYX - is a cryptocrystalline form of quartz. The colors of its bands range from white to
almost every color (save some shades, such as Purple or Blue.) Commonly, specimens of
onyx available contain bands of colors of white, tan, and brown. Sardonyx is a variant in which
the colored bands are sard (shades of red) rather than black. However, pure black Onyx is
still common, but not as common as Onyx with banded colors.
